An update on Resident Evil Village?s official SteamDB page suggests that the upcoming title will feature open-world elements.
Hawk-eyed users noticed that Capcom updated the page with an ?open world? store tag on January 22nd, following which Capcom insider AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem claimed that Resident Evil Village will have some elements of an open world design. According to him, the developer considers it more of a Metroidvania style, with an emphasis on exploration.
